Robert grew up in Alexandria, VA (b. February 11, 1963) and Cortney in southern Georgia (b. September 8, 1971). Both were from large families and had parents who were decorating enthusiasts. The couple met in Charlotte, North Carolina, moved to New York City and got into the design world through real estate. Robert was a sports enthusiast.

They began their design career by renovating run-down properties in Manhattan. Their work combines the use of distinctive architectural details, unique interior finishes, and rare collectibles found while travelling to flea markets around the world. They are known for their distinctive style, which mixes vintage/modern high/low pieces. One of their featured works is 5 Centre Market Place, converted from a former gun shop located on the edge of Soho. In addition to Centre Market, the couple’s design of two properties, also in Soho, on Thompson Street sold for record prices. The Novogratz moved to Los Angeles in the fall of 2014, where they bought and renovated a home in the Hollywood Hills.

In addition to designing and renovating their personal homes, The Novogratz design private residences for A-list clients, as well as design boutique hotels. Boutique hotel jobs include Hotel Dylan, LULU's at the W Hoboken, Bungalow Hotel, and Timber Cove. The Novogratz recently completed a children's space at Ten Thousand, a luxury apartment building in Beverly Hills, CA, and are working on a 250 unit condominium in East Boston.
